. The American fruit culturist, containing directions for the propagation and culture of all fruits adapted to the United States. Fruit-culture. Fig. 747.—Lombard. FiG. 748.—Mariauna. Kirke. Size medium, round, suture small; skin dark purple, bloom thin, blue; stalk three-fourths of an inch long, cavity slight; flesh greenish-yellow, firm, rich, free from the flat, broad stone. Season medium. Shoots smooth. Resembles the Purple Gage externally. Often spurious. English. Lincoln. Large, oval, flattened at apex; red purple, slight bloom; flesh amber, juicy, sweet, free. Very prolific. Lombard.* (Bleecker's Scarlet.) Size medium, sometimes rather large, round-oval, slightly flattened at ends, suture obscure; skin violet-red; stalk very slender, half to three-fourths of an inch long, cavity broad; flesh deep yellow, pleasant, not rich, but of fine quality. Season medium. Hardy, very prolific, well adapted to light soils. Shoots quite smooth or glossy, bright purple. Origin, Albany, N. Y. This is a strongly fixed variety, and has in many instances pro- duced seedlings very closely resembling itself. Largely grown for market, but rots badly. Valuable as a stock for poor growing varieties. Fig. 747. Manning. (Large Long Blue, Manning's Long Blue Prune.) Large, long, oval, slightly one-sided, suture obscure; stalk very long, slender, scarcely sunk ; skin dark purple, bloom thick, blue ; flesh firm, rather juicy, nearly free from the long, pointed stone.
